Lorraine Agtang, of Sacramento, stands in front of the Cesar Chavez monument at Chavez Plaza that includes her likeness on Thursday, Sept. 3, 2015. Agtang, one of the few living Filipino grape strikers who launched the most famous strike in modern American history, is going back to where it all began in Delano this weekend. She represents the partnership between Filipino and Mexican farm workers who had the courage to launch the first major farm worker's strike that drew international support and led to major changes in the fields. Agtang, whose dad was a Filipino farm worker and his mom a Mexican farm laborer, went on to become such an important voice in the movement she's enshrined on the Cesar Chavez memorial statue in Cesar Chavez Park.
